I have the solenoid ground covered, the white wire goes through two safety switches (neutral and attachment). I want to place the solenoid back in the original location, but make it more beefier so less chance of failing.

Got side tracked with a Wife project this morning, worked in the Old shop on the planter, A "cold front" came through and dropped us out of the 70's and brought some rain. If it keeps this up I'll be mowing again next weekend. While waiting on paint to dry I re-built the safety switch harness, applied heat shrink to the battery cables, and ordered two new safety switches.

The advantages of 9 year old hands. I installed the brake lever will little effort, then started on the hi-lo lever. The first thing I noticed was I couldn't get the lever past the transaxle pulley due to it's odd shape. I pulled the belt guard out of the way, and had to remove one of the bolts in the rear plate, I finally got it in there, but now another issue, how to install the bar brackets and bolts that are above the transaxle? I wasn't about to drop the tranny a third time. I contemplated this over a couple beers, and tried pliers, long sockets, etc. but just couldn't hold the bracket and install the lock washer and bolt at the same time. After beer three I was wishing I had small hands...... DOH!!!!! Logan to the rescue. After I called him in, we had both brackets on in less than 10 minuets!

Hey Larry, question for you. Can you measure the OD of the pulleys for the drive on this? Both the one on the rear end and the engine. Got another thread where a member is having an issue with speed on his tractor. Someone may have changed things there.

Kenny, it looks like the transmission pulley is 7-1/2 and the engine pulley Outside = 3" Center = 4-3/4" and Inner = 4-1/4 by my eye. Give or take a 1/4 for eyeball calibration. I assume the inner is the drive pulley.

Well, I guess you get what you pay for. These are the 4" round LED's I spotted at Wal-Mart for $35.00. Good news, they will fit, weigh 1/4 of what the glass bulbs weigh, and hardly any current draw. Con's, The look doesn't seem quite right, light output is only 1/4 of the incandescent at the same voltage.....The only other options in 4" round are 35W Halogens. I tried these on BMP, and it's either lights or Deck, can't run both.

I saw one at Autozone that should work. Kinda deviating from stock, but need to work with what I can get.

I listed close to your measurements 3" 5" 41/4" on the site KennyP was asking about. That was eyeball checking. I don't know what the outer small pulley is for, I only have a mower and rear breaking plow, disc and cultivators. The middle pulley is mower drive and inner pulley is tractor drive.
